Here’s a pretty unique piece of English Walnut. It was a from a tree that was harvested across the street from our shop. This particular piece was near the graft line giving it a really unique coloring for English Walnut (We graft English Walnut to black walnut for bug resistance here in California). The wood was stored in a shed for close to 10 years, so by the time I got to it the spalting had worked its magic just enough to add the dark streaks and a few creamy white pockets as well. Its about 10” x 3”, and was finished with heated mineral oil n beeswax, buffed to what you see here. Hope ya like it, thanks for looking!

It’s a rare day when a good turner gets a beautiful piece of wood like that to produce what you did.
Absolutely beautiful, and done to emphasize the grafting. Well done!
